[16] [17] Transgenic mice generated to carry cloned oncogenes and knockout mice lacking tumor suppressing genes have provided good models for human cancer. Hundreds of these oncomice have been developed covering a wide range of cancers affecting most organs of the body and they are being refined to become more representative of human cancer. [9]
Starbuck II, a clone of Holstein breeding bull Hanoverhill Starbuck, was born by Caesarean section on 7 September 2000. It was one of the first animals cloned for commercial purposes. [17] [18] In 2000, Texas A&M University cloned a Black Angus bull named 86 Squared, after cells from his donor, Bull 86, had been frozen for 15 years. Both bulls ...
Cumulina (October 3, 1997 - May 5, 2000), a mouse, was the first animal cloned from adult cells that survived to adulthood. She was cloned using the Honolulu technique developed by "Team Yana", the Ryuzo Yanagimachi research group at the former campus of the John A. Burns School of Medicine located at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
Humanized mice are commonly used as small animal models in biological and medical research for human therapeutics. [ 2 ] A humanized mouse or a humanized mouse model is one that has been xenotransplanted with human cells and/or engineered to express human gene products, so as to be utilized for gaining relevant insights in the in vivo context ...
[110] [111] The best current cloning techniques have an average success rate of 9.4 percent [112] (and as high as 25 percent [37]) when working with familiar species such as mice, [note 1] while cloning wild animals is usually less than 1 percent successful.
Yanagimachi himself considered "cloned mice" to be byproducts of fertilization study and that the production of cloned animals in various species triggered/accelerated the research on the genomic reprogramming of adult somatic (body) cell nuclei as well as the production of pluripotent stem cells from adult cells for therapeutic purposes. He ...
[62] [63] Genetically modified mice were created in 1984 that carried cloned oncogenes, predisposing them to developing cancer. [64] Mice with genes removed (termed a knockout mouse) were created in 1989. The first transgenic livestock were produced in 1985 [65] and the first animal to synthesize transgenic proteins in their milk were mice in ...
[23] [24] However it took another eight years before transgenic mice were developed that passed the transgene to their offspring. [25] [26] Genetically modified mice were created in 1984 that carried cloned oncogenes, predisposing them to developing cancer. [27] Mice with genes knocked out (knockout mouse) were created in 1989.
